YSaC, Vol. 331: A woman’s work is never done …

secertary with photo shop expert

WERE ARE LOOKING FOR A GIRL THAT KNOWS ABOUT PHOTO SHOP -AND TAKING PICS AND MAKING CATALOGS .
PLEASE CONTACT ALLEN AT alen@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com

A … secertary. That knows about photography, photoshop, and making catalogs. Maybe I’m crazy, but that sounds like a graphic designer to me. Or a photographer.

And of course it has to be a girl, because secretaries are always girls.

Sigh … so much to snark at. All caps, poor spelling, and misogyny. It was really hard for me not to leave the company name in the email. I would like to point out, though, that it looks like Allen spelled his name wrong in the email. I hope those female photoshop experts were able to figure that one out.

This reminds me of one of my bosses from a while back; he actually uttered the phrase, “How did you learn so much about computers when you’re just a girl?” In my head, I translated that to, “Thanks for fixing my computer again.” It was the only way I could stop myself from kicking him in the shins with my shiny Mary Janes.

Same here! I just visited the unemployment office today (I’ll be furloughed for 6 weeks this year), and after explaining what I currently do, they said “that’s an office job, right?”. Why do I get the feeling they’ll try to place me in a temp secretary position during my furlough?

Reminds me of an ad I saw in the Knoxville TN paper a bit over a decade ago. A law office was advertising for a CNE* to administer their network half the time and do typing and filing the other half. $15 an hour.

* Novell Certified Netware Engineer, the MCSE of the early ’90s — at the time it cost at least $5000 to take the classes and exams.

Sigh…..This is what i tend to see a lot as a graphic designer. I’ve had potential employers ask me to do everything from copywriting, sales and customer service, to tech support. The line of thinking seems to be “we have two creative jobs” or “we have two jobs using computers lets fill them with one underpaid employee.

To make it worse, i googled the ad, and it was posted under Web Design. Our designer/secretary/office-bitch is going to show up for work and have to make websites too.

Lots of potential, sucks i’m a dude so i cant be a secretary-designer.

Alen, I am not a girl, nor do I have a photo shop expert. I figure that since you are not Allen, that makes me the prefect candy… caddi… dude for this secertary poten… prescr… er, jeorab. When do I start?

So I Googled ‘secertary’ – it saddened me greatly to find that many misspellings of secretary (tho’ I shouldn’t be surprised), but the one from Saudi Arabia was the most worrisome. Preferred gender: female – Performs other related duties as assigned by supervisor.

Sadly, I lost my photo shop expert to a tragic accident that involved a fire, usb cables, and a jar of pickles. (don’t ask, I still have the emotional scars) I’ve been looking for a replacement, but it’s so hard to find one willing to work for hugs and peanut butter/jelly sandwiches these days.

The boys and I have found ourselves in need of a secretary, and we are looking for one of the young girls we hear about who can operate the computational electronic type-writer. The other gents have a quite amusing notion of a “netweb”, and have prevailed upon me to also find a girl capable of ministering an appearance on this “netweb”. Also, frankly, though I suppose it of little importance, we are having trouble with the micro-computers in our office, and would expect that expertise to extend to such matters. We anticipate a salary of $3/hr, including expenses. Proper attire and attitude a must.
